We may complain to God about why there is suffering in this world. But in the end, only the existence of God can give us hope amidst all of our sufferings here. With God, we know that we have hope, that even suffering can be redeemed, and one day, if we do not lose faith, all these sufferings will end and will give way to eternal glory and joy!
Many atheists try to fill the God-shaped hole in their souls with all kinds of excess and debauchery, not out of evil intention, but out of desperation. That desperation can mask as defiance, but it's desperation nonetheless. All we can do is pray for them to return to the right path before the emptiness devours them.
